EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled ""O, nothing in life can sadden us"", transports us back to the 19th century. Created by an English School artist, this print is a part of a private collection. The artwork was originally featured in "The Comic Annual" by Thomas Hood in 1830. The scene depicted in this illustration showcases the dark humor prevalent during that era. It portrays an undertaker and gravedigger engaged in their somber duties with a touch of comedic irony. The artist skillfully captures the essence of mortality while infusing it with wit and satire. The phrase ""O, nothing in life can sadden us"" serves as both a title and a thought-provoking statement within the image itself. It invites viewers to reflect on the transient nature of existence and how even amidst death's presence, laughter can still find its way into our lives. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded not only of the artistic talent behind it but also of the unique perspective it offers on life's inevitable end.
